An exhibition in central Vienna featuring photographs of Holocaust survivors has been defaced with swastikas and a message reading “1 Jesus = 6,000,000 Jews”.
The pictures form part of an exhibition called “Against Oblivion”, featuring the work of Luigi Toscano, a German-Italian photographer.
The installation, located on the city’s main Ringstrasse thoroughfare by the central Heldenplatz square, was opened earlier this month by Alexander Van der Bellen, Austria’s president.
Set to run until the end of May, it was organised by the ESRA psychological centre, an organisation run by Vienna’s Jewish community centre which offers professional help to people traumatised as a result of persecution, torture, migration, abuse or disasters.
